The 23-year-old Denver Nuggets forward was driving on Interstate 25 in Colorado at around 4:00 AM when he was pulled over and taken into custody. Anthony was driving a silver Mercedes and police say he was stopped for failing to drive in a single lane and failing to dim his lights.

Anthony's attorney, Dan Recht, said, "He cooperated by consenting to a blood test, the results of which will not be available for approximately two weeks ... There was no accident and no one was hurt."

He is due back in court on May 14.

42. "exclusive" must mean something different in the world of tabloids....

The Denver Post and the Rocky Mountain News both had Melo's mugshot up well before you guys did. Time to go back (or simply go for the first time) to journalism school, kiddies.

44. Who cares? He should be arrested for looking like a thug. You can take some people out of the hood give them millions, but you can teach them responsibility.

45. They are so hard to slam an African American for negativity what about the good things that he has done. They rarely speak about that, but fast to speak negative, what about all the Caucasian atheletes caught drunk driving, or on drugs speak about them just like Larry Bird for child support, but they don't speak about all that as well as others. They try to bring any African American down at any point just to let them know they are still black okay
